After an important win in Salt Lake City the Los Angeles Lakers only have to win one more game versus the Jazz to advance to the next round. Back in Los Angeles, they will host Utah on their home court on Monday at 3:30 a.m. GMT.

Despite their promising performance in game three, the Utah Jazz were not able to defeat the Lakers in their second home game on Saturday. In their 94-108 loss the team from Salt Lake City had no means to stop Kobe Bryant who finished the game with 38 points on 62% shooting from the field. Utah’s key players Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams had a big night, but it was not enough to beat the Lakers. Boozer managed to pull down 16 rebounds and score 23 points, while Williams dished out 13 assists along with 23 points. Once again the issue was to be found on the defensive end where the Jazz allowed more than 100 points for the third time in the past four games.

Without any doubts it will take a miracle for the Utah Jazz to come back from being down 3-1 against the best team in the Western Conference. Although starting center Mehmet Okur played for the first time in the series after his hamstring injury, he did not appear to have fully recovered and went scoreless throughout game four.

Considering that the only game the Jazz managed to win was when Kobe Bryant had one of the worst playoff games of his career it seems to be highly unlikely that they would advance. In fact, it would already be a surprise if they could win one more game which obviously would not be enough to advance anyways. Nonetheless, you can expect the Jazz to try their best to avoid being eliminated on Monday. You can watch this basketball game right here on www.watchlivenba.com, the home of live NBA streaming.
